My son loves to marinate steaks and has a lot of spices, so I made him this Pallet/Bee Box Frame Spice Rack. I made this spice rack from used pallets and some old bee box frames I found at a friend's farm. The frames still have old honey on them, and bugs bore into the wood to make interesting textures on the wood surfaces.
My Pallet/Bee Box Frame Spice Rack - a fast and fun build:
Start with a few pallet deck boards and mount them together to form the spice rack's back wall. You can glue them, or mount them to boards on the back. Next, trim more deck boards to the width of the back wall for your shelves. How many you cut will be determined by the size of your spice rack. Install them with fasteners through the back of the piece. Trim the shelves out with a decorative edging - in this case, bug-bored upcycled bee hive boxes. Next, sand as smooth or leave as rustic as you like. Remove the dust and apply a UV-resistant Spar Varnish if installing outside near your BBQ, or use an indoor varnish (which costs less).
Pallet/Bee Box Frame Spice Rack - Some fun options!
This was the way I made my Pallet/Bee Box Frame Spice Rack. Of course, have fun and make it fit your family's needs. Make it bigger or smaller; paint it. Wax it. Do decorative edging or create more shelves to suit your needs. You could even have fun with using a chain to hang it outside like a picture frame for when your family is grilling if this is an outdoor piece. You can make it narrow to hang on the inside of a cabinet door as a convenient space-saving device too! The possibilities are just about endless. Design it to fit YOUR needs and have fun!
Smooth Alder catkins, female flowers and last years seed cones (Alnus serrulata; Hazel Alder) - Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge, Smyrna, Delaware
These catkins were on the other side of a marshy area,
and were captured on a rainy Spring day from the comfort of my car using a long lens.
As can be seen in the above image the flowers are monoecious (both sexes found on a single plant) with the male catkins 1½ - 2½ inches long, and the female (Pistillate) catkins/flowers less than ½ inch in length. Alders bloom from early March to April (about the same time as Witch Hazels), and are one of the earliest trees/shrubs to bloom in the mid-lantic region making them easy to spot in an otherwise stark landscape.
The alders are large shrubs or small trees that tend not to grow more than 10 or 15 feet in height usually with multiple stems/trunks no more than 6 inches in diameter. Alders prefer moist soil near streams, pond margins, and riversides.
Edited Curiosity PR image (panorama created by NASA) of a smooth rock in Gale Crater.

Original caption: This exposure of finely laminated bedrock on Mars includes tiny crystal-shaped bumps, plus mineral veins with both bright and dark material. This rock target, called "Jura," was imaged by the Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) camera on NASA's Curiosity Mars rover on Jan. 4, 2018, during the 1,925th Martian day, or sol, of the rover's work on Mars.
The view combines three MAHLI frames covering a postcard-size patch of the rock. Fig. 1 includes a scale bar of 2 centimeters (about 0.8 inch) and a blow-up of a "swallowtail" crystal shape. The combination of simpler "lenticular" crystal shapes with swallowtails and more complex "lark's foot" and star shapes is characteristic of crystals of gypsum, a type of calcium sulfate.
To the right of a prominent swallowtail near the top of the image is one bright mineral vein and another with both bright and dark portions.
This rock is near the southern, uphill edge of "Vera Rubin Ridge" on lower Mount Sharp.
MAHLI was built by Malin Space Science Systems, San Diego. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the Mars Science Laboratory Project for the NASA Science Mission Directorate, Washington. JPL designed and built the project's Curiosity rover.

Descripción
Descripción científica
Con una franja negra y ancha, que cubre todo el lado de la cara, extendiéndose al menos hasta el margen posterior de la glándula parótida. La glándula parótida posterior al ojo, o apenas anterior al nivel de la axila. La glándula parótida es muy grande, varias veces mayor que el área del párpado superior. Las glándulas parótidas inconspicuas armonizan con la piel circundante y cuando el sapo está estresado, secretan cantidades apreciables de un veneno viscoso y blanco. Sin crestas craneanas. La longitud estándar de los adultos machos es de 42 a 62 mm., hembras de 50 a 80 mm.

Two angles on a Smooth Hawksbeard (Crepis capillaries) flower head growing on the Royal Canal towpath between Maynooth and Kilcock.

Just to prove its not a rubber snake 😂👍it does move & seems active in the late afternoon November sun..New Forest.
Smooth Newts - Kendal Park, Hullbridge, Essex. Unfortunately only had 500mm lens with me and murky water doesn't help with image. Will try again later with smaller lens!
I was struggling to get a angle I liked...this shot I took without looking. I thought it looked interesting in its original state.

Like me, I’m sure your hoping for smoother sailing this year. 2020 was certainly memorable, but not in many ways we’d like to remember in a hurry. Will this year be better? What’s going to put enough wind in our sails to lift us above the sea of uncertainty? For me it’s going to be non-material sound, the Maha-mantra. Bhakti Yoga texts explain that while we live in a world of ups and downs, the present times, being particularly tumultuous, are compared to a tossing ocean of faults. Try going to the ocean and counting the waves. Impossible, right? In the same way, Bhakti texts reveal, it’s also impossible to count the inadequacies in this age. But despite the rough seas, those who take advantage of the one good quality - the Maha-mantra - easily sail across this ocean and become inspired to help others fly high too. Here’s to smooth sailing in 2021. Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare - Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare.
